In 2021 Alabama pumped Georgia in SEC championship and Georgia Pumped Bama in final. In my opinion if you believe Michigan benefited from sign stealing at all they have no business being in there and in my opinion it will show they have no business being in there in Pasadena.

Man undefeated Florida State is showing Georgia how it's done. Just smashing them 42-3 at the half...
If Conference Championships are defacto playoff games Texas beat a 10-4 Oklahoma State team to win theirs.

Georgia could put up 77 points if they want to.

FSU should just run the ball so this ends sooner.

They're running clock as best as they can. They have had the backups in for a solid quarter.

I'm reading some SEC boards and just having to laugh at their analysis on the PSU/Ole Miss game. Delusion is strong...it has to be a cult with these folks and how they truly believe it would not have mattered even if Tom Brady and Jim Brown were on the Lions side...the SEC is just an unstoppable force.
The only comparison I could imagine is take the 2005 Steeler/Colts playoff game. The Steelers players deciding not to play because of pending free agency include their best DL Casey Hampton and secondary guys Ike Taylor, Deshea Townsend and Troy Polamalu. Oh, and Defensive Coordinator Dick Lebeau is taking a job as HC in Detroit so he's out too. On offense, your best OL Alan Faneca decides he isn't playing either. The Colts only have one guy out...Dwight Freeney on DL. That's basically the cards Penn State was dealing with today.
The Steelers #1 defense is then shredded by Peyton Manning and every AFC South fan is dumbfounded that he throws for 400 yards and 3 touchdowns against the #1 D. Then....the icing on the cake, AFC South fans screaming how superior their teams are across the board.

That Taco Bell commercial is annoying
To me I'd like to see college football just admit that there is such a wide divide between BF state and the big boys. And the big boys play virtually all their games vs. Eachother. And teams drop out of and move up to the big boys. Big playoffs and these bowl games determine who is moving up or down for next year.
don't really know him ..... but the dancers in his video for La Hai .........are a hitEveryone here would think you’re talking about a rapper

I agree w/ this as well the college postseason is a joke now. Outside of the champ games most guys w/ a shot at going pro are sitting out. I would have thought FSU players would have played to "make a statement" that they belonged in the playoffs. If I was a player on FSU and felt shafted by the selection process I would certainly want to curb stomp Georgia and would try to convince my teammates to play to gain some respect for the program. Losing 63-3 is going to leave a lasting impression and makes FSU look like a bunch of clowns.

End the "no pay for play" charade because that's all NIL is with the boosters paying. 95% of college athletes wouldn't get huge sponsorship deals based on actual NIL. With that rule out of the way, give the winners a larger share than the losers who play in the bowl game and reduce the share they give the the schools/conferences.

Probably not as bad as TCU's loss because they actually tried, but maybe the most embarrassing effort in college football history. That game could've been 100-3 if Georgia wanted.
Franklin still sucks donkey.

Once I saw that both starting CBs were out, i was expecting a horrible game. How could it not? How do you beat a good passing team without your top pass rusher, top 2 CBs, and your best LB gets injured in quarter 2? You don't.
The only shot Penn State had was if Jaxson Dart got rattled by pressure and made mistakes. He didn't. He didn't make mistakes because he just had guys wide open all over with blown assignments and guys getting beat.
I think that Penn State could have rushed for 300 yards if they wanted. They started the game pushing Ole Miss around and if all they cared about was winning this game in front of them, I think they would have had about 50 rush attempts and maybe just kept the ball and wore Ole Miss out.
But with NIL and transfer portal, you now have to play each game trying to keep your own players happy. They couldn't just run the ball. They had to pass because they are still trying to get WRs in the portal for next year.
Allar is often in a no win situation. A high % of his throws are on 3rd down. He just doesn't get the easy throws most QBs get. So many times there's just nobody open.
Watching Penn State's depleted defense get beat was frustrating but expected. The real thing that hurt was watching the Ole Miss WRs actually make plays. I mean get open then actually catch the ball. Penn State's WRs struggle with both.
At the start of the 4th, Penn State spread it out and went up tempo and let Allar just sling it and he looked good. He was decisive and made good throws. Then they did some stupid trick play that blew up and killed the drive.
Lot's of Qbs would have thrown 15 INTs in Allar's situation this year. He's smart. He reads defenses. I still feel good about him with a good OC and a scheme that actually gets guys open.

As for the portal, they need to fix this immediately. It seems the no brainer should be that you can't enter the portal until like February.
Just imagine how many opt outs there will be next year for the non-playoff bowl games. 12 teams will make the playoffs and the rest will probably have half their players opt out.
Right now NIL is being dominated by "collectives". That basically means fans donate to a slush fund to pay players. That's BS. Why do fans have to pay these guys?
NCAA needs to get together and appoint a commissioner. There has to be some order. Imagine the NFL if your players could just "transfer" whenever they felt like it. Just opt out of games as soon as they don't feel like playing.
You have draft and free agency plus you have to convince your own players not to jump ship.

I can understand donating to a university to get your name on a meeting room or on a building, but to pay the players directly when universities are getting 10s of millions of dollars, I mean, come on. With no return on investment, I don't understand why boosters are willing to give their money away. They're paying unproven high school recruits when they couldn't get a free meal sponsorship at the local Eat 'n Park. They have little to no NIL value, collects are straight up pay for play.
I agree the NCAA needs a commission and pretty much everything else Chip Kelly suggested. Football needs to break away and allow regional conferences for all other sports. FBS needs to break into two divisions with around 60 or so teams each. Break those teams down into regional divisions and then you have an NFL-like playoff structure where teams earn a spot by winning a division and records with tiebreakers. No more invitational-style playoffs. Also, home games until the championship game. Unreal that teams that earn a bye have to play on a neutral field and don't get to host a game. Total BS.
They can still play the bowl games for programming purposes and give the players a cut of the money, with the winning team getting more. No need for the conferences to get all the profits from the bowl games anymore.
